Re: [Maya2osg-users] Patch for units

[PP CG <pp...@cg...>]

Hi J-S, just right now I wanted to send you how to get the Units in the 
Maya API :-)

anyway, there will be problem with characters and skinning, as its not 
so trivial to just multiply some values. Hope we will find a good 
solution for this as well.

Cheers, PP
